Line 40:
* ''USAES Advanced Infantry Technologies and Operations Program'' - founded in August 1929. (The ''Vitruvian Man'' with angelic wings, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kato_(The_Green_Hornet) a 'Kato mask'] and a 'third eye' placed before crossed Spartan-style spears and a rising sun.) It is traditionally the largest program at USAES, as any cadet who does not have powers that specifically warrant placement in any of the other programs are placed here; also, cadets who specifically wish to be considered for combat or law-enforcement duties after graduation may request to be placed in this program even if their powers would merit placement in another program. Since the mid-1970s, the program is often referred to by its members as '' 'KATO' '' (a slightly-skewed interpretation of the program acronym, and an homage to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee Bruce Lee], who actually took several 'KATO' special seminars in the early 1960s instead of enrolling in the ''CAUSE'' program). The program patch was re-designed after Lee's death as a further homage to him and his legacy as a fighter.
 
* ''USAES Combatant/Archivist-Ultimate Studies/Extranormal Program''/''CAUSE'' - founded in August 18691870. (A ''hoplon'' (emblazoned with thirteen five-point stars) and crossed spear, tomahawk and lever-action rifle over a globe, bordered by mistletoe and crowned by a laurel wreath.) It is the third oldest program at USAES, formed five years after the American Civil War (as several solders on both sides demonstrated near-paranormal skills and abilities which USAES personnel reasoned could be fashioned into a new training program for non-powered personnel.
 
* ''USAES Enhanced Lifeform and Medical Studies Program''/''ELMS'' - founded in August 1962. It was split off from the ''Advanced Infantry Technologies and Operations Program'' and merged with the former ''Special Technologies and Unified Medical Program''. (The ''caduceus'' (with a single snake with a tiny pair of avian-style wings and a spiral of binary system numerals [in place of a second snake] spiraled around the staff) before a double helix with the Roman numeral 'XXIII' on the top of the staff, positioned between a pair of elm trees.)
Line 54:
 
 
* ''USAES Special Communications Systems Program'' - founded in August 18701869; it was dissolved in June 1962 when its psi-active assets formed the ''Mental Enhancement and Education Program'', while the rest were merged with elements of the the ''Advanced Infantry Technologies and Operations Program'' to form the ''USAES Advanced Cybernetics, Mechanics and Electronics Program''. (A globe with three eyes, the 'third eye' electric-blue in color, with a sine wave and radio tower behind the globe.)
 
* ''USAES Special Technologies and Unified Medical Program'' - founded in August 1870; it was dissolved in May 1962 when it was merged with elements from the ''Advanced Infantry Technologies and Operations Program'' to form the ''Enhanced Lifeform and Medical Studies Program''. (The '' 'Star of Life' '' cradled within a pair of glowing hands, fixed within a Mercator projection, with a Shepard's crook and a broadsword placed behind the two side-points of the star.) It had the unfortunate acronym of ''STUMP''.
